I think True Blood has lost it's way just a little, seems as though when they're short on ideas they just through in a different kind of supernatural being. Still love the characters they've created and the whole feel of the show.

[quote name='BartMan']Which is why diets don't work. <br />
<br />
Diet, lose weight, go back to eating normal, (which is why the person was overweight to start with), gain the weight back. You need to change lifetime habits to lose weight and retain the new weight you get to. <br />
<br />
Not saying YOU Deep Blue, but that seems to be the recurring theme for people who do special diets and then get to their goal and resume eating normal again.<br />
<br />
If everyone just ate less, plain and simple, they would start to lose weight. Don't supersize your McD meal, have one sugar in your tea instead of two, trim milk instead of the full cream stuff. Reduce your carbs at night with dinner, snack healthy. It's not hard when you make a conscious effort, but all too easy to back slide!![/QUOTE]<br />
<br />
Emphasis on the "see how I go" part, if I introduce something back in and start to gain weight that is obviously the level I can handle, "eating normal" may never come. At the moment the way I'm eating now I can't really think of much I really feel deprived of. The only problem I have with the idea of eating the same as when you were fat just smaller amounts is I do think those foods effect you psychologically "once you pop, you just can't stop". I'm at week 13 and down 10kgs, various health conditions I had have cleared up or reduced in severity, comparing the way I feel now to before I have very little urge to go back to that way of eating. -
[quote name='Quo vadis']eating a bowl of candy or eating a bowl of oats - one hour after consumption, your blood sugar will be at the same level.<br />
Granted oats is the lesser of two evils, but nonetheless, definitely worth considering.<br />
I used to eat porridge daily for breakfast and then at 10 am I would be absolutely craving food as the high G.I oatmeal is rapidly digested and raises your blood sugar and then you get a insulin response which drops you right down and then you are on the blood sugar/ insulin rollercoaster..[/QUOTE]<br />
<br />
Yeah this is what I found when I was eating porridge or weetbix for breakfast, I would be terribly hungry by 10:00am and craving high sugar junk (my favourite was kitkat chunky from work vending machine). It wasn't untill I started eating scrambled eggs for breakfast (without toast) that I realised that being that hungry by 10:00am isn't normal or neccessary, if I have a decent fat+protein low carb breakfast I find I don't even think about food untill lunchtime.<br />
<br />
I think some people (especially those with desk jobs) don't tolerate carbs very well, you can go for the wholegrainy more complex stuff but that doesn't help if it makes you crave more carbs a few hours later.<br />
<br />
I have lost 7.5kgs in 8 weeks eating low carb with minimal exercise, once I hit my goal weight I will start introducing back some complex carbs and add some exercise (MRT) and see how I go. -
Which is best for weight loss and overall health? Personally I think the whole "low fat" mantra is bunkem (except perhaps if you're an extreme athlete, then you'll probably need plenty of carbs). I have been losing weight effortlessly just by reducing carbs with no increase in concious exercise (I say concious as I seem to fidget and spontaneously want to move more often than before). <br />
<br />
I have been reading up about low carb and especially this guy's research into the field, [URL="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003WUYOQ6/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_3?pf_rd_p=1278548962&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=0307272702&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0JYHKX5F0EJED3D0RZS6"]Gary Taubes[/URL]. Really convincing stuff. -

I'm not saying it's shit, just that with the talent (especially the kids) there it could have been something exceptional. -
According to the box office, Twilight, The Phantom Menace and Transformers ROTF are cinematic masterpieces.

I watched [I]Boy [/I]the other day, it was kind of depressing, could have been a really good drama, or a really good comedy but it fell somewhere inbetween and suffered for it I reckon.
